Not parsing vCard correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello, it seems that aSmack can't parse vCard package well.

aSmack version: 2010.05.07
Android version: 1.5 (emulator)

XMPP Server: chat.facebook.com

My Java code:
---------------------------------------------
public VCard getVCard(String user) {
  VCard vcard = new VCard();
  try {
    vcard.load(this.connection, user);
  } catch (XMPPException e) {
    Log.e(LOG_TAG, e.getMessage());
  }
  return vcard;
}

...

VCard vcard = getVCard("uXXXX@chat.facebook.com");
Log.d(LOG_TAG, vcard.toXML());

---------------------------------------------

From the attached log you can see that the vCard package is received, also
with encoded avatar, but aSmack can't detect it ("No VCard for
uXXXX@chat.facebook.com").

The sysout is caused by
http://github.com/rtreffer/smack/blob/master/source/org/jivesoftware/smackx/pack
et/VCard.java#L540

You ran into a ClassCastException on
result = (VCard) 
collector.nextResult(SmackConfiguration.getPacketReplyTimeout());

This means that the collector received an response but couldn't build a 
package. A
common symptom for a missing PacketExtension. "vCard" in the "vcard-temp" 
namespace
has to be associated with a vCard-parser.

https://svn.igniterealtime.org/svn/repos/smack/trunk/build/resources/META-INF/sm
ack.providers
    <iqProvider>
        <elementName>vCard</elementName>
        <namespace>vcard-temp</namespace>
        <className>org.jivesoftware.smackx.provider.VCardProvider</className> 
    </iqProvider>

In code:
ProviderManager.getInstance().addIQProvider("vCard", "vcard-temp", new
org.jivesoftware.smackx.provider.VCardProvider());

Have fun!

Thank you, that solved the issue :)
I think that this suggestion should be added to the javadoc of the VCard class.
Bye!

Please help me, i have the same issue, but inserting line

ProviderManager.getInstance().addIQProvider("vCard", "vcard-temp", new  
org.jivesoftware.smackx.provider.VCardProvider());

nothing changes. Where should I put this string,before connection.connnect() or 
just before vCard.load(connection) ???
thanks in advance!

I met the same issue which was resolved by adding the VCardProvider. Thank you 
rtreffer!

@rtreffer@gmail.com Thanks a lot.

It works pretty well when I added

ProviderManager.getInstance().addIQProvider("vCard", "vcard-temp", new
org.jivesoftware.smackx.provider.VCardProvider());

before

vcard.load(this.connection, user);

ProviderManager.getInstance().addIQProvider("vCard", "vcard-temp", new
org.jivesoftware.smackx.provider.VCardProvider());

but it still doesn't work, any help?

Adding the IQProvider DOESN'T work for me too.
ProviderManager.getInstance().addIQProvider("vCard", "vcard-temp", new
org.jivesoftware.smackx.provider.VCardProvider());

I'm getting this in logcat:
SENT (1102292544): <iq id="2hh9b-8" from="XXXX@XXXX.com/Smack" 
type="get"><vCard xmlns='vcard-temp'/></iq>

RCV  (1102292544): <iq id='2hh9b-8' type='error' 
to='XXXX@XXXX.com/Smack'><error type='cancel'><item-not-found

I/System.out(14075): No VCard for XXXX@XXXX.com/Smack

E/AndroidRuntime(14075): java.lang.NullPointerException: expected receiver of

Hi I am using 'asmack:asmack:8-4.0.2' and while loading the vcard with null 
Avatar it crashes the App with following error 
 java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jivesoftware.smack.util.PacketParserUtils$2 cannot be cast to org.jivesoftware.smackx.vcardtemp.packet.VCard
            at org.jivesoftware.smackx.vcardtemp.packet.VCard.doLoad(VCard.java:560)
            at org.jivesoftware.smackx.vcardtemp.packet.VCard.load(VCard.java:542)

Although the same App with no changes in it works fine when Avatar is set to 
something.
Don't know how to fix above solution doesn't work.
Thanks
